Standing With Youth, Creating Opportunity

Friends of Project Sunwave exists to support and amplify the work of its partners, like Project Sunwave in South Africa, ensuring that young people in under-resourced coastal communities have access to opportunity, safety, and hope.

Empowering Communities

Our goal is not short-term aid, but long-term, community-led change that empowers youth to shape their own futures and break cycles of inequality.

Compassion In Action

Meaningful change begins with human connection. Showing up, listening, and investing in young people as they build confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging. We do this through education, water safety, ocean sports, and mentorship.
